    Alternative gaming during Covid19- willing to GM/DM PBeM or Discord Play-by-post games?

    Let me start by saying, sorry for the length, but having been gaming for 4+ decades and GMing for more than 35 years, some explanations may be needed, I know this is a bit into the Stay at Home order, and things may start to loosen up with it in the near future (although I don't think life will...

    Sling use?

    Thanks for the info. I'm wanting to do an actual sling, not a sling shot. But the same principle if applied helps with the idea that I'm formulating as there would be some curvature. And as far as foam, I've got access to closed cell foam thicknesses that is unlike anything that is easily...

    Sling use?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking that when I looked at doing this earlier (based on Alkalin3's suggestion early in the discussion) that a cross-piece was required for the crossbow. But now that I think about it, I think I was looking at the old rules (as pointed out to me by Sage of...

    Sling use?

    Okay, sorry to revive this discussion after it had died with the fallen leaves last fall (nearly 6 months ago), but having been to two events so far (1 as an NPC in September and 1 as a PC with my relatively new character in October, where I was using a shillelagh & shield, but no ranged...

    Woo hoo. Looking forward to those dates (hoping to be able to make it to most of them).

    October Closer 10/18-20/19 Feedback

    My wife and I enjoyed it. There were times when things moved a little slow, but that is to be expected to some degree. My wife is interested in coming back as Zena and I will definitely return as Tua. We met a lot of interesting characters, spent a fair bit of time talking with Spark, Eragon...

    October 18-20th Pre-reg Open

    Its not a problem. I know that you are busy. I think I have my character figured out, other than what he can start with. You had mentioned that you would check on that for me the other evening when we were chatting on Discord and get back to me later. I did purchase 2 ranks in Blacksmith...

    October 18-20th Pre-reg Open

    Had a couple of questions that I sent you a message through the forum system and an email about in regards to myself and my wife creating characters for this event. Hadn't heard anythi g back, so just wanted to make sure you received them? Thanks in advance for your guidance and assistance.

    September 27-29th Pre=Reg Open

    Cory, Yup, I've read about the situation and have been in touch with Anique a little bit about my potentially valuable and unusual background and what I might be able to contribute once I have a clue how things work. As well as chatting with acouple of others a little about what is needed to...

    September 27-29th Pre=Reg Open

    Grianadhmad/Taed, No, could not figure out what I was doing wrong or what the issue was, but I could not get registered but was included in the list of NPCs. Also, just as note, not sure what time I will be getting up there as I'm unsure how late I will need to work yet on Friday. But will...

    September 27-29th Pre=Reg Open

    I am planning to attend as an NPC to see how things work (Aaron Smalley). Will be my first time at an Alliance event andonly 3rd time at a LARP. Not sure if I am doing something incorrectly, but can't seem to access the pre-registration on the web site for the event.

    Sling use?

    While it still isn't quite what I was hoping for as I would have preferred an actual sling phys rep, and I may still see if I can figure out a way to do it with a "crossbow" that appears to be a "sling", using magic is definitely an interesting idea that I will definitely look into and seriously...

    Sling use?

    Very interesting idea. Thanks for the suggestion. My tentative character thoughts were a Human or Barbarian Scout with a "Ranger" (or even "combat focused Druid") type of feel. So that idea would certainly fit. Although choosing Human would make more sense from a mechanics standpoint if...

    Sling use?

    From the previous responses I was under the impression that something like that would not be acceptable due to the fact that you would be using it to hurl "packets" by swinging it. Unless I am understaning things incorrectly (which is certainly a possibility). Or unless you are talking about...

    Sling use?

    Thanks for the explanations and suggestions. There are issues I see with either solution, but I understand the reasoning behind using those specific solutions (safety being the primary one). Related to both solutions I do have some further questions. In regards to using a "light crossbow"...

    Sling use?

    I am relatively new to LARPing and to Alliance as well. Will be attending the September event for the Traverse City Alliance as an NPC to check things out and may occasionally attend Southern Michigan events. I am considering PC options to play in future events in TC and SoMi areas (will most...

    Future of the Chapter

    Thanks for the info. That is more than I would not feel comfortable investing that much without having much of a clue yet as to how things work or how many people are normally involved with the TC chapters events. But I might still be willing to help out once I am more familiar with things...

    Future of the Chapter

    New to the forums and fairly new to LARPing, and recently sent a message to learn more about the Alliance and local chapter process/mechanics and probably volunteering as an NPC for the Traverse City chapter's September event near Central Lake, to see how things work and to meet people. Have...
